Unity Feast

Unity Feast is a term sometimes used by Bahá'ís to refer to a meeting along the spiritual and social lines of a Nineteen Day Feast, but with no administrative part to it. Such a meeting might come about through a whole variety of scenarios. For example, the Bahá'ís in a given area may wish to introduce to their friends or seekers a quasi-Bahá'í experience, and therefore deliberately organise a "Unity Feast". Another example would be where a seeker would like to take part in all the Bahá'í activities and experience a "proper" Bahá'í meeting, but before deciding whether to declare himself/herself as a Bahá'í. The Bahá'ís could invite this person to the next scheduled Feast, but simply omit the business portion, financial matters, etc. The seeker hopefully imbibes enough Bahá'í spirit to sharpen their interest!
